Ok this is a sort of rip off from the 'how did you think of your username'. This is for suggesting how someone may have come up with their username, in jest of course!

Take mattman:

I think mattman got his name because he's a closet matt dealer!

I mean this as a joke, don't take any offence!

I'm taking a rough guess here, could be his name.

Well it came to me while I was walking along in the countryside.

It was bothering me so I took a stroll, it just came to me in a flash of inspiration.

No prizes for guessing where mine came from...but you will definitely show your age by guessing correctly.

Bonus for quoting the catchphrase.

I bet killswitch thought of his name either from the X-Box game (which was pretty cool), or he's a male version of buffy that hunts witches instead of vampires.

Here's another criptic clue.......

This member does not log on much nowadays because of his new acting career, and his new chain of stores which sells props for stage, and movies. His acting tallent was discovered in Toys'R'Us where he started out acting as a robot. This probably led to him naming his chain of stores after the toy store, and finally to his username.

The first one is easy. Who wants to be a Millionair. Just read it, and you'll get it.

The second one is a bit harder, but I expect someone to get it.

Time for another criptic clue...

This Apollo member likes crisps/Potato chips. His favourite flavour is Bovine. He likes to crush them all up in the bag, into little tiny pieces, and then shake them before he eats them.
